    Default Question about intake manifold?

    wasup IA!
    is the STR manifold good for allmotor or just boost!
    the intake manifold is going on a jdm gsr and it is an N/A, just bolts on, like DC header, intake system, WS2 exhaust system, the the str manifold with stock gsr TB. Am i goin to loss alot of power from the intake or gain alot.
    is my vtec goin to scream loud ... or is it better off, buying a skunk2 intake manifold...lmk thanx for ur time.
    workin on it!

    waste of money you will lose torque and with the stock throttle body lose power also. i wouldn't use use it on anything below a 2.0 liter motor unless it boosted

    I think you would be alot better off if you just removed the butterflys in your intake (FREE UPGRADE) . oh yea and a type r header wouldn't be a bad idea
    just my .

    Skunk2($270) intake manifold or the blox($180) intake manifold. Which ever you perfer... i would recommend skunk2.
    You may want to invest in some skunk2 cams and a 64mm throttle body also.
    Boost under slow construction...

    Have you ever driven or rode with someone that has a GSR? Just asking since you say it doesn't feel like a GSR. If so was that GSR stock? If it's not then that could be the difference.

    whenever you ditch the dual stage gsr intake manifold for a single stage manifold such as the skunk2, you need to move the vtec engagement point up to around 5300rpms. every application is a little different, but it needs to be raised into that neighborhood. you want a little power increase, ive got a zex kit for sale

    Yea what he said I put a skunk 2 on my GSR and it didn't do crap until the second stage usually kicked in at like 6,000 rpms, I guess cause of the fuel curves the stock ECU had, so if u do an intake manifold get it tuned or just get a VAFC and do it yourself then u can make some good power ........ I guess

    AEBS.... similar to type r, but they extended the manifold past the runner #1 so it doesn't starve the 1st cylinder like the type r manifold does

    you will lose horse power, you better off with type r or blox, skunk, aebs intake manifold, if your motor is boosting or highly modified you could use the str manifold...yyou should shop on ebay..
